What would you do?

I can’t get away, yet it would be better if i escaped

By Helen Published 5 months ago 1 min read

What would you do if I told you I love you?

Would you tell me you love me too?

What would you do if I told you I hate you?

Would you tell me you hate me too?

Like the tide trying to flee the moon’s pull

Like lightning attempts to get away from the storm

Like a leaf trying to glide, but stays stuck where it grew

I feel like I might shatter if I don’t break through

You in south

Me in north

Distance keeps our hearts at ease and let us breath

Cause closer, we’d only lose our peace

What would you do if I told you I love you?

Would you tell me you love me too?

What would you do if I told you I hate you?

Would you tell me you hate me too?
